This is the second K3 seminar in a series dealing with artistic research. Here is a short abstract for the talk:

Abstract:

Artistic research – research carried out by artists, through artistic practice – has all the markers of a burgeoning academic discipline. In keeping with dominant perspectives on such developments, we may expect practitioners’ boundary work to play a decisive role in the development of the field. But when binary understandings come up against multiplex meanings, when and how do binaries matter? With a focus on the Swedish artistic research field, I consider the ways that evaluations and boundaries interact in an emerging research discipline, showing how an analytical perspective focused on the relationship between commitments to boundary work and orientations to boundary objects can offer specific insights on the ways that new artistic and academic fields are defined and how research in such fields is evaluated.
